A motor boat heads east at 16 m/s across a river that flows north at 9 m/s. what is the resultant velocity speed and directions of the boat?

The answer is 6 m/s why cuz i just took the test

Ithink the answer is d

The boat's velocity relative to the riverbank can be resolved into two components. the component going north is 2.7 m/s and the component going west is 1.2 m/s.we add these two vectors and then find the magnitude of the resultant to get the speed.the magnitude of the resultant vector from adding can be obtained by the pythagorean theorem.    to two significant figures, the boat's speed relative to the riverbank is 3.0 m/s.
